About National Roof Over Your Head Day
On December 3rd each year, this is a day to create awareness about homelessness in the USA. As winter starts to bite, this marks the start of the worst time to be without a home, and each night spent outside creates significant health risks.
Homelessness is a significant issue in the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), on a single night in January 2021, there were an estimated 567,715 people experiencing homelessness.
Homelessness affects people of all ages, races, and backgrounds, but some populations are particularly vulnerable, including veterans, people with disabilities, families with children, and individuals who have experienced domestic violence or trauma. The problem is complex and multifaceted, and addressing it requires a coordinated effort from government agencies, non-profits, and the private sector.
